Capture Data

Capture Data

Capturing data begins it all. Without data, there can’t be real-time control or any kind of process improvement. With it, processes become understandable and new realms of stability and profitability can be attained.

WinSPC solves all the challenges associated with capturing data. It captures virtually any type of data from nearly any source and it does so with a powerful simplicity.

Virtually Any Type of Data

Quality measurements such as product dimensions, weights, and functional tests

Process parameters such as machine performance and environmental data

Attribute checks such as visual inspections and defects

And traceability details in the form of tags such as lot number, shift, or machine

From Nearly Any Source

Local serial devices such as micrometers, calipers, scales, tensile testers, hardness testers, keyboards and other gauges via USB or RS232

Powerful Simplicity

Setting up WinSPC to capture data is a fast operation, regardless of whether that data will be manually entered using a keyboard or received from an external source. Shop floor personnel learn the primary window used to capture data, called the Data Collection window, in minutes and everything on that window is security controlled. As needed, WinSPC administrators can even rearrange that window’s elements to suit specific process requirements or user preferences. Finally, to keep production going in the event of a network outage, administrators can enable WinSPC to capture data offline and upload it to the main WinSPC database when network communication is restored.
